Schrade assisted opening knife review

I previously carried the Smith and Wesson SWBLOP3SMT. A cute little
thing. I accidentally forgot to put it into my checked luggage and it
was confiscated by the TSA. So I was off to find a replacement. Before
I just reordered another Smith and Wesson SWBLOP3SMT, I decided to look
at other options in the sub 3" blade category, so I could legally carry
it in my city. I came across this Schrade SCHA3B with the 2.9" blade.
I can't say enough about this knife. It is amazing. I was
apprehensive about the geometric shape, but it fit in my hands very well
and being a former collegiate football player, I have large hands. The
build is excellent. the function is even better. I can feel the
safety, without looking for it. I can deploy the blade in a flash. The
blade is also very wide & sharp. Just an overall great product.
Very happy with it and am considering ordering another for when it gets
confiscated again. Buy it. You'll love it.

Blade doesn't hold an edge, finish wears quickly in the pocket, assisted
opening mechanism is easily jammed with lint and other pocketstuffs,
and the lock is hard on the thumb.
BRB buying something good.
